Why did they cross for a six being hit?

pls go through the post again they had 12 balls left so need of crossing

 

[marc71178]

Cairns and McCullum are in Cairns on strike
Cairns smashes a six down the ground
McCullum is now on strike and hits another six and wins the WC for NZ

So how did they change strike then?

 

[Richard]

Cairns scores 6.
Cairns scores 1.
McCullum scores 6.
Not difficult, really.

Australia needs 232 to beat India and win the 2007 WC


It is the 40th over and they are 200/4

PAthan and Bhajji suddenly bowl with venom...restricting the Ozzies and taking wickets..

220/5 ---12 to win off of the last over..

Hayden is still batting 107* off 130 balls

Pathan being given the last over...so far he has taken 3-35 off 7 overs..

Pathan to Hayden: Absolute snorter, Hayden makes every mistake possible except actually hitting the ball, Indian fielders are very dissappointed

Pathan to Hayden: SIX short...very good bouncer...but Hayden manages to top-edge it...and its in the stands

Pathan to Hayden: FOUR ...this time Pathan pitches it up...Hayden is ready..plonks his foot down the track and hammers it straight down the ground

Pathan to Hayden...OUT Hayden's leg stump is in 2 pieces..PAthan goes for another yorker, and this time there is nothing Hayden can do...beauty of a delivery...

Pathan to Lee....SMACK right on the helmet...and Lee is very very shaken by that ball....direct hit to the side of the head...Lee expected a bouncer and ducked into a good length ball...

Pathan to Lee...OUT: It's over! Lee goes for a wild swing only to realize it was a slower ball...gutsy piece of bowling to use the slower ball at this stage...but its worked...the ball is tapped back to Pathan and the match is over..

MOM: IK Pathan 8-0-45-5

hmmm....i wonder why 170??? Is there some special landmark that Lara's going after??

Delkap i saw both and the WI v Aus match was certainly much better. The India Aus match was great in terms of their beating the World Champions but the 1999 series, the state of the WI (5-0 v SA) and the status of Lara as captain. The entire scenario made that match even more pivotal. India could have lost 3-0 in that series with very little repurcussions. A WI series defeat would surely have spelt death for Lara's career.

You reckon Ganguly's captaincy would hv survived if India had lost? Definitely not.. And that series turned the whole Indian team around, since then atleast they hv had the will to win everything, and self-confidence that they can do it. Apart from doing Indian team wonders, that was a respite for the World from Aussie domination (16 tests). They were no longer invincibles.. That win did a lot for cricket, so it was more important than just a career of a player IMO.

So how did they change strike then?

they will automatically change at the end of 49th over

Aus v Eng at Lords
Series drawn 2-all, and there is one days remaining play in the final test, with Australia 2/477 - Martyn 167*, Ponting 102*, with a double century parntership to the openers; Jones 2-154, and 180 (all collapse bar Marto with 100 off 398 balls hahaha) ;Harmison 3-47
England 343 -Flintoff 87; Martyn 4-103 (I can dream), and on 1/67 needing 247 more to win the match.

Nearing the end of the days play with two overs to go, England are 16 runs away from the target with 2 wickets in hand. In the second last over, Warney clean bowls Vaughan (whos been in most of the day) to take the World record for Test wickets, overtaking Murali whos come down with a strange illness.
In the last over, with 7 to get, and 1 wicket in hand, the slips corden lines up and Marto takes a screamer at 3rd slip off McGrath to dismiss Harmison and win the match and series for Australia.

There we go.

Perfect scenario, except I'd have Harmo hitting the winning runs with an edged six over the slips.

2014, Essex v Yorkshire (for whom a 'wicketkeeper' named Peter Young plays.) Whoever wins becomes County Champions.

Essex need 301 to win, thanks to a Yorkshire collapse, brought about by Tom Halsey's brilliant 6-25. Peter Young made a duck. Essex get off to a bad start, being 60-5 when Tom Halsey comes in, and, together with Essex's ageing overseas player/superstar, AA, gradually helps edge his team nearer the total.

Then AA is given out because of an unsporting appeal by Yorkshire keeper PY, where, caught on camera by TV from behind, he dropped the catch. Annoyed, the rest of the Essex tail preceed to get themselves out, to the point where they need 26 to win, with 1 wicket in hand.

Then, the big over. Halsey hits Kabir Ali's first 4 balls for 6, leaving 2 to win. Then, a dot. He needs to win it this ball to protect Essex's No. 11, Adil Dewan, from strike.

60.6: Kabir to Halsey: FOUR, Halsey plays and misses, goes for 4 byes, straight through the hapless Peter Young.

Is it me or do you have some sort of resentment against a certain.............................. AA ?

 

[Tom Halsey]

Nah.

 

[Richard]

Jees, why'd'you hate Mr. Young so much?
Haven't any others on this board done anything as bad to you?
